Biography
Strong Bad's current computer is, in his words, "a spectacle of graphics and sound". Replaced the Tandy 400 after it exploded in gimmicks. It also seems to have something against The Cheat.
Debut: invisibility
Fun Facts
- The Compy 386 seems to be a take on the old Compaq Deskpro 386, which has a similar monitor and keyboard.
- You can click on the little wheel to change the screen contrast from black to blue.
Other Forms
"Compy 386" (or at least an old computer monitor) also appears in puppet form, in 'Puppet Time', which, along with The Cheat's computer in Labor Day, are the only computers to appear in this form.
The Compy also appears in Powered By The Cheat form, in mile, under the name "Compa".
The Real Computer
Like the Tandy 400, this was an almost-reference to a real computer. There was a 386 processor, which was very popular in it's day, but there was no company called "Compy" that made a 386 version of their computer. He seems to be using a DOS, but in big white face we see him emulating the old MacOS. This can lead to a huge amount of theories, but let's not delve into details.
